Application of Negative Index Lens Antenna for 5G Mobile Base Station

For 5G mobile base station antenna at 28GHz band, a lens antenna is suitable because of a simple configuration, especially the lens thickness can be reduced by employing negative refractive index. In this paper, negative index lens antenna is designed for 5G base station application. Features of neg...

Description
Summary:For 5G mobile base station antenna at 28GHz band, a lens antenna is suitable because of a simple configuration, especially the lens thickness can be reduced by employing negative refractive index. In this paper, negative index lens antenna is designed for 5G base station application. Features of negative index lens are discussed by comparing a conventional dielectric lens antenna. © 2018 KIEES.
